This Thursday, Didier Deschamps revealed his list for the Nations League matches against Italy and Israel. A list without Kylian Mbappé who has caused a lot of talk in recent hours. And if the Blues coach tried to justify himself, it was not very convincing. Beyond the absence of the Madrid striker, the question of the armband was also raised.
Without Mbappé absent or Tchouameni (captain at the last rally) injured, Didier Deschamps will have to appoint a new captain. According to information from RMC Sportthe Blues coach hesitates between three names. Barça defender Jules Koundé is a serious possibility, as is Ibrahima Konaté, author of a big start to the season at Liverpool. The experienced N’Golo Kanté can also claim this role during this break. Concerning Mike Maignan, the probability is low even if he remains one of the leaders of the group.
